Tips That Growing Small Businesses Should Follow For Preparing An E-Commerce Website For The Holiday Season
“Summary of Black Friday and Cyber Monday”
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are popular times of the year for when people buy products on the internet. Every year after 2005, there has been an increase in the amount of money that consumers spend on Cyber Monday and Black Friday (“Statista. 2015.”). Statista points out that the amount of money that consumers spent on Black Friday was $1500 million dollars and a little over 2000 million dollars on Cyber Monday during the year of 2014 (“2015.”). This means that small businesses should have content on their website that allows them to receive website visitors and be profitable on the days when many consumers purchase products.
“Content That A Small Business Website Should Have On Black Friday To Cyber Monday”
Some examples of content that small businesses should have on their webpages on Black Friday to Cyber Monday include:
• Notes that thank customers for shopping at the firm (“Gregory 11/24/2014.”). In this way, website visitors will likely return to the firm’s website and store (“Levin. July 8, 2014.”).
• Features of value, such as a warranty, that a customer can receive from purchasing a product that they cannot receive from a competitor (“Winn and Fallon Taylor. September 21, 2015 12:43 pm EST.”)
• Four to six products that customers will likely purchase (“May. Dec 1, 2014, 6:25 AM.”). That way, website visitors will not be overwhelmed by too much content on a webpage (“May. 2015.”).
